We are taking the kids and their grandparents car camping this weekend for two nights. When we started camping, I found it a little challenging figuring out exactly what we needed to bring for food as I didn\'t know what I was capable of cooking at a campsite. We usually just went shopping on the way and ended up filling the car with junk food and hopefully a few things that we could make a meal out of. We survived, but with kids we have to plan things a little better. Also a little planning at home can make things go very smoothly when you are at the site. We always come home with food and sometimes end up going out for a meal while we are there, but we like to plan not to have to do that. Below is the menu for the weekend, complete with snacks! We will be arriving in the afternoon on the day 1.

Day Three:

Snacks

Weiners for making spider dogs Homemade S'mores (I will be doing a post on these when we get back) PepperettesPistachiosHoney Dijon ChipsChocolate Chip CookiesChocolate covered almonds Lots of fruit!

Drinks are up to you, but we prefer hot chocolate in the morning, wine with dinners and beer in the afternoon.

Don't forget you need to cook and prep a lot of these things, for this I like to bring:Cast Iron pan2 cutting boards for meat and veggies1 Chefs knife1 paring knife1 sauce pan (for boiling water for coffee and tea)large metal flipperRoll of heavy duty, wide tin foilPlace settings for the family and lots of paper towels!

About Me

I've always had an interest in cooking since I was a kid. Growing up, I looked forward to making pasta, cookies, pancakes and other great dishes with my mom. In university, my interest in cooking increased as I was home with an injured knee and loads of time to watch Food TV. more...
